Post by ninjamonkey »

Has anyone looked into how to make of those? I was though it was cool. I wasnt to make one but I havent any experience with soldering. So if anyone know how, please contact me and we can settle on a price.

Only one person I know of has made one, but he doesn't keep up with the modding scene anymore.

Shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows what they're doing. What screen size are you wanting? Internal or external controls? UMD drive?

Hmmm... Yeah, that could be done. I thought the psp only had one joystick thing though?

I could probably do it for you, but I don't know what I'd do about the case. DS case? :D

What are you looking to pay for this, and would you be willing to upload a rough sketch so we can get an idea of what you want?

Of course there won' be a touchscreen, and no second screen. :mrgreen:]

EDIT: What do you mean 'keypad'?

Oh. Now I see what he means by keypad. Yeah that could be done by someone with a little bondo and an extra psp case. I'd do it, but I don't know that I have 'the skillz'. Well, I'm sure I could do it if I wanted. Just don't have the time to figure it out.

Its not really that hard, if you think about it. You just need to get an screen ribbon extender, or an longer ribbon. As for the dual nubs, you just need to make a razor x pcb. Then, solder the board to the xbox chatpad. And you're good. PLus, it helps being the engineering program at my college.

well , if I dont, then I can search it. Its sort of simple if you think about it. Just need an extender for the screen; Make a pcb for the second analog nub. Then, get the xbox chatpad to work with the psp; which has a tutorial to do it.

Could you tell me where this is? I have tried a little looking around but can't seem to find it.

I've seen this thread, but there's just too much. I don't see an actual tutorial in there anywhere. I might have missed it, though.
